i use to be in the maraichi band as well 2 years ago. they sprig. might have more orchestra and more violins, but it doesn't matter how many you have. what matters is how you play it. we all play it from the heart so we are good in our own minds and hearts.

it doesnt matter if springfield has an "ochrestra"..... it all depends on the armonia and ur heart.... Woodburn has that!

I have heard them at local Woodburn events and they are great!

Mariachi and it's Roots
The roots of the Mariachi go back hundreds of years. It was the music of country people; music that celebrated the joys, the struggles, and the triumphs of the Mexican people. The Mariachi was a version of Spanish theatrical orchestra containing violins, guitars, and a harp. Groups were small and not generally known outside of the region from which they came.

The musical form and ensemble of the Mariachi developed differently from region to region. The ensemble that is familiar today began to take shape in the the nineteenth century in the state of Jalisco. In other areas such as Veracruz and Huasteca, the northeast region of the country, the ensemble evolved differently. By the end of the nineteenth century, the cocula or the vihuela, two violins, and the guitarron were the instruments of the Mariachi.

By the 1950's the Mariachi ensemble was becoming more flexible and orchestral without losing it's traditional base. The classical guitar, two trumpets and more violins were added to make the ensemble more adaptable and able to play different styles other than the son (a type of traditional folk song that is an essential element to the mariachi repetoire).

Enjoy

either way dosent matter if springfield are better or we are but still its mariachi and its awsome
